Liriodendron genome sheds light on angiosperm phylogeny and species-pair differentiation.

The genus Liriodendron belongs to the family Magnoliaceae, which resides within the magnoliids, an early diverging lineage of the Mesangiospermae. However, the phylogenetic relationship of magnoliids with eudicots and monocots has not been conclusively resolved and thus remains to be determined. Liriodendron is a relict lineage from the Tertiary with two distinct species-one East Asian (L.

Isolation and characterization of tetranucleotide microsatellite loci in Pinus massoniana (Pinaceae).

Premise Of The Study: Tetranucleotide microsatellite markers were developed for the first time in Pinus massoniana Lamb. to facilitate studies of population and conservation biology in this species.

Methods And Results: Ten tetranucleotide microsatellite primer pairs were developed using dual suppression PCR.

Improved AFLP protocol using dual-suppression PCR and its application to species with large genomes.

To improve the amplified fragment length polymorphism assay, dual-suppression PCR was introduced into the preamplification step of the assay. The dual-suppression PCR blocked completely the amplification of fragments with the same sequence (Bsp1407I-Bsp1407I or NlaIII-NlaIII) at both ends and amplified selectively fragments with different adaptor sequences (Bsp1407I-NlaIII) at each end. Two protocols, referred to as A and B, were established for species with medium- and large-sized genomes, respectively.
